LEED Silver certified renovation and expansion of an existing library.
The Project
This project expanded the existing library’s north face to create a stunning new façade to invigorate the local neighborhood while also creating a new canopy that would allow for covered pedestrian access from all parts of the parking area. Significant parts of the original building shell were integrated into the new design as part of the LEED Silver Certification.
Structural Features
The building is steel-framed with masonry walls and was reinforced to current structural standards. Mechanical and Electrical systems were also replaced to meet current performance and LEED standards.
